C-peptide Archives

Tag: C-peptide

C-peptide is a byproduct created when insulin is produced. Measuring the amount of C-peptide in blood indicates how much insulin is being produced. Generally, high C-peptide production indicates high insulin production, and vice versa.

The C-peptide test is also known as the insulin C-peptide test.
